Soul Survivor- The Seminal Dick Heckstall-Smith Dies, Aged 70 Dick was however, equally balanced and philosophical in the face of oscillating success with the seminal Colosseum who enjoyed a resurgence of popularity in 1993. Gary Husband is credited by Pete Brown and Dick as “breathing percussive life into the record”, whilst bassist David Hadley injects the benefit of his diversity in the arenas of jazz, blues and funk; the lesser- known Rab McCulloch took on a bulk of the vocal duties with facility. Dick almost certainly achieved a majority of what he desired career wise, except perhaps the biography of Wardell Gray that DH-S was hoping to surprise us all with over the next few years.. www.grahambond.net /soulsurvivor.html   (1775 words)

LET IT ROCK - Dick HECKSTALL-SMITH obituary Dick Heckstall-Smith was a staple of the British blues scene, that same staple which holds it all together. Dick's place in music history could be secured if only by the fact that it was him who brought Jack Bruce from obscurity to the wide audience, introduced him to Ginger Baker and advised, a little later, to check out Eric Clapton, but this bit of trivia is nothing compared to the man's overall significance. Having graduated from bebop - and carrying the love to the cutting kind of jazz through all his life - Dick was one of the first traditional jazzers who broke with tradition and opened his ears, and his heart, to the new sounds. www.victoryware.com /dmme/stat/dick.html   (501 words)

Dick Heckstall Smith: A Story Ended On one of the great musical nights of the year, it is with a little sadness that I paused to consider that a superb musical bill of fare such as this could only come about because of the passing of one of Britain’s most colourful and innovative musicians, Dick Heckstall Smith. On a brighter note, even the normally reticent Dick would surely have loved the fantastic vibe, and the spirit of co-operation both and off stage for what proved to be a magnificent night’s music. Apart from being one of the world’s leading drummers, and Jazz Rock icons, John Hiseman is also a very funny guy as evinced by some ironic on stage recollections about Dick. www.feenstra.co.uk /reviews/2005-06-06AStoryEnded.htm   (1417 words)

ttgapers.com store - A Story Ended - Dick Heckstall-Smith - Product Details Dick Heckstall-Smith (1934-2004)was an incredible musician (tenor and soprano saxes, often at the same time) and he invited lots of fellow incredibles to create this-his first solo album after the breakup of his former group Colosseum, a six piece jazz rock ensemble. I always found Dick Heckstall Smith to be enigmatic: how could a jazz musician born in the 30s get involved with such "heavy" rock musicians like Clem Clemson and Jack Bruce? Sadly, Dick passed away at the end of last year, but he left us with so many beautiful moments to savor, many of them captured on this stunning album. www.ttgapers.com /ttStore-index2-asin-B00025OHU2.html   (597 words)

westcoastmusic: Dick Heckstall-Smith dies, Dick Heckstall-Smith passed away R.I.P. Dick Heckstall-Smith "Woza Nasu" CD (with extra tracks) (2003): ORDER IT NOW. Dick's black Devon school mate Kaye Dunham couldn't match his playing, but made Dick aware of his innate but hitherto quite unconscious, mind-blowing jazz feeling and introduced him to Sidney Bechet, an expensive acquaintance: Dad had to finance a "Maltese" soprano sax for a further 10 quid. But Dick's skills grew at lightning speed: in the late 1990s, he was to receive a CD entitled "Fairweather Friends", also done in 1959, on which he plays four tracks on tenor, but no longer sounds like his then hero Wardell Gray. noted.blogs.com /westcoastmusic/2004/12/dick_heckstalls.html   (2616 words)

Dick Heckstall-Smith Dick has not only been frustrated by the rarity of his art it seems, as Pete Brown explains in the liner notes of Blues and Beyond, armed with a degree and hyphenated name Dick was just too intelligent and open minded for the tiny London jazz scene at that time. The album reunited Dick with contemporaries Peter Green, Jack Bruce, Mick Taylor, Paul Jones and John Mayall, a formidable team complemented by 'the man with the vision', Pete Brown who is co-producer and writer. Despite such major setbacks, Dick has nevertheless been able to realise some truly accomplished achievements including the remarkable 'Celtic Steppes', a composition which takes the listener on a musical odyssey of some three and a half thousand years in form of an Arts Council jazz suite. www.bluestormmusic.com /dhsbluesandbeyond.html   (3399 words)

Guardian Dick Heckstall-Smith Less celebrated, although just as musical, virtuosic, and, in his own way, influential, was the post-bebop saxophonist Dick Heckstall-Smith, a key member of the jazz-blues scene, who has died aged 70. Soon he was a professional musician, and by 1957 he was working with traditional clarinetist Sandy Brown (who had awarded him a jazz competition prize at Cambridge), then on a Butlins' season with pianist Ronnie Smith. The British music scene of the early 1960s was loose, creative and open; it accommodated jazz, blues and rock'n'roll, and produced originals such as Georgie Fame and John McLaughlin. www.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,5090731-103684,00.html   (812 words)

LET IT ROCK - Dick HECKSTALL-SMITH interview Yet there's no other definition for Dick Heckstall-Smith, a man without whom British blues scene wouldn't be what it rose to the '60s, and London wouldn't be swinging as hard as it did if not for Dick's sax mastery. (Dick's manager explains it was him who took the record out while compiling the discography for the new edition of Heckstall-Smith's book, "The Safest Place In The World", out in early 2004.) No, I wouldn't listen to that anyway, because it's vinyl. (The manager asks permission to chip in.) One thing that Dick does which I find really interesting is he records all the live work that he ever does, and he does looks at some of his improvised solos to give him musical clues for future compositions. dmme.net /interviews/dhs.html   (3995 words)
